This is a transport issue, and not impacted by SOAP as far as I can tell -
it would need to be implemented at the LWP level, and I havent been able to
find any exisiting implementations. The module that you'd need is
LWP::Authen::NTLM.pm. If you're interested in implementing it yourself,
there is protocol information here: http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html
.
The open source web proxy project, squid, has some information available as
well: http://squid.sourceforge.net/ntlm/

I would be very happy if somebody could contribute this module.

However, please pardon me if I use the LWP code incorrectly, I know not what
I do; once done I am sure other, more experienced Perl writers will
correct/fix it.

There is now an NTLM module on CPAN by Mark Bush [1]. I would think
that building on it should simplify the task of writing
LWP::Authen::NTLM considerably.

It's on my list of things that I may need to implement, but would
rather use if available. It isn't difficult to do having Authen::NTLM
already implemented, but I don't have a server that supports NTLM to
test with.
